Update with Kelly Partners Group (KPG.AX/KPGHF): The Buy and Build Leaders in Accounting Services

In this Business Breakdown, David Barbato sits down with Kelly Partners Group’s (KPG.AX/KPGHF) CEO Brett Kelly. Join MicroCapClub and unlock the ability to listen and participate live in these discussions.

In this episode, Brett explains why he sees AI as an enabler for accounting firms rather than a threat, and why he has stopped publishing the group's playbook. He walks through how a list of everything he and three partners disliked about the firms they had worked in became a 204-point implementation checklist, and why leadership quality decides whether it ever gets used. He also addresses the margin loan he took during a family emergency this year and the 50% share price fall that cost him 14% of his shareholding, along with what comes next: acquiring multi-office firms, a listing outside Australia, and a Constellation-style long-dated debt structure.
